SMArts Impact

Now in our 5th year, the program has enhanced the lives of over 6,700 students in the Los Angeles area and we are in a position to expand greatly and offer it to schools everywhere.

THIS YEAR, we are looking to partner with ballet companies that can offer a live theatre Nutcracker experience to 2-3 grade children in the diverse communities of Los Angeles, Long Beach, Orange,
Riverside, Ventura, Santa Barbara and San Diego Counties.

"My class truly looked forward to the video lessons.  After the Nutcracker story was read and performed, I took the students out to the school playground where they freely danced all over the steps they remembered most  from the videos. We also wrote a summary of The Nutcracker.

Most thankful."

— Our Lady of Victory Catholic School
